Hello Mooers , today we are going to learn two new exciting things, that is timing the market and expecting profits from every trade.
We start off by looking at the following chart, which shows the stock movement of $Phunware (PHUN.US)$ for the last few months in 2021.

At one point, $Phunware (PHUN.US)$ made a heroic rise of 1099.35%!
If we got in earlier, and exit before it drop, we would have made a huge decent profit . Notice what we are doing and thinking here. We are actually timing the market (doing) and always expecting (thinking) a profit from the trade.

So, starting from this moment, encourage yourself to never stop making mistakes. Making mistakes are marvelous and thru mistakes, we can learn important lessons, which will help to grow our portfolio, and sometimes, change our destiny.
